The Kerrville Performing Arts
Society boasts the record of 25
seasons for calling the
Municipal Auditorium/Cailloux
Theater “home”. There is no
other performing arts
organization in the City of
Kerrville that has been
incorporated for 25 years and
has exclusively performed in
this first rate facility in the
heart of the Texas Hill Country.
The theater and its elegant
lobby is the obvious choice for
KPAS’ 25th Anniversary
Celebration featuring the San
Antonio Symphony on October
12th. [see

The Vienna Choir Boys have
performed in the KPAS series
three times over the last 25
seasons … once in each decade.
During their 1980 and 1990
performances, they sang in the
old Municipal Auditorium, while
their 2007 performance was in
the renovated audition, The
Kathleen C. Cailloux Theater.

In 2004, KPAS
began the tradition of presenting the
ballet, The Nutcracker, as a holiday
highlight in the hill country. Professional
ballet companies from Russia, Colorado,
Texas, and California have delighted
audiences at the Cailloux Theater with this
ever-popular magical experience. Over 100+
local dancers have had the opportunity to be
selected to perform with the professional
troupes. Above, students performed as Bon-Bons
while two of Kerrville’s most generous
volunteers, Sue Steele and Leatrice Nixon,
were recognized as Mother Ginger. For the
4th annual presentation in November 2009,
KPAS will celebrate the official opening of
the Christmas season by joining other
Kerrville organizations for holiday
festivities including the lighting of the
Kerr County Courthouse, the Downtown Holiday
Lighted Parade and the arrival of Santa
Claus.

Javier Chapparo of the Austin
Symphony tells Eric Haffner
about the parts of a violin
during a demonstration conducted
by Austin Symphony musicians in
a 1987 Kerrville Performing Arts
Society program. The entire
Kerrville community became
involved with this project in
providing local children the
opportunity to fully appreciate
the miracle of making music; a
gift that they would indeed
carry into their adult lives.

The KPAS Guild

Motors and was sold to Mr. and Mrs. A.P.
Allison. Pictured during the presentation of
the keys were (left to right) Lorna Auld
(Guild President), Eleanor Dozier, Cindy
Huchtemann (Summertime Sale co-chairmen),
